Why Iran Could Launch a Limited Attack

The U.S. is crushing them any way it can. Don't expect them to respond the way John Bolton wants.) Think we’re out of the woods on war with Iran? Think again. Both sides may have said they don’t want a conflict. Yet wars do not only happen when we seek them out. Two paths to hostilities remain open: bad luck and bad policy. The first path to war is by accident or miscalculation. As the great Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz pointed out, rationality isn’t always the driving force in war. Emotion and plain chance come in as well—and it isn’t even predictable which will be dominant at any moment. While we may not want war, the tinder on which the ...

Hong Kong Leader Apologizes as Protesters Insist She Quit Sunday, 16 June 2019 10:01 AM Hong Kong's leader Carrie Lam apologized to its people on Sunday as an estimated 1 million-plus black-clad protesters insisted that she resign over her handling of a bill that would allow citizens to be sent to mainland China for trial. Organizers said almost 2 million turned out on Sunday to demand that chief executive Lam step down in what is becoming the most significant challenge to China’s relationship with the territory since it was handed back by Britain 22 years ago. Sunday's demonstration came in spite of Lam indefinitely delaying - though not withdrawing - the bill on ...

US Govt's Entire Russia-DNC Hacking Narrative Based On Redacted Draft Of Crowdstrike Report

It's been known for some time that the US Government based its conclusion that Russia hacked the Democratic National Committee (DNC) on a report by cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike, which the DNC paid over a million dollars to conduct forensic analysis and other work on servers they refused to hand over to the FBI. CrowdStrike's report made its way into a joint FBI/DHS report on an Russia's "Grizzly Steppe", which concluded Russia hacked the DNC's servers. At the time, Crowdstrike's claim drew much scrutiny from cybersecurity experts according to former Breitbart reporter Lee Stranahan. Now, thanks to a new court filing by longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone ...

Pompeo: 'Unmistakable' That Iran Behind Tanker Attacks Sec. of State Mike Pompeo (Ashihi Shimbun/Getty Images) By Cathy Burke | Sunday, 16 June 2019 10:02 AM Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Sunday it’s “unmistakable” that Iran was behind the attacks on two commercial tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. U.S.-Iran tensions are high following accusations by the administration of President Donald Trump that Tehran carried out attacks last Thursday on two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman, a vital oil shipping route. Iran has denied having any role. In an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” Pompeo said the nation has “high confidence” in ...

Why the S-400 Is a More Formidable Threat to US Arms Industry Than You Think
Post Date: 2019-06-16 07:56:57 by Ada

Generally, when discussing air-defense systems here, we are referring to Russian devices that have become famous in recent years, in particular the S-300 (and its variants) and the S-400. Their deployment in Syria has slowed down the ability of such advanced air forces as those of the United States and Israel to target the country, increasing as it does the embarrassing possibility of having their fourth- or fifth-generation fighters shot down. Air-defense systems capable of bringing down fifth-generation aircraft would have a devastating effect on the marketability and sales of US military hardware, while simultaneously boosting the desirability and sales of Russian military hardware. ...
Trump’s Iran Hoax: This is Literally the Sloppiest, Goofiest, Contemptible False Flag in All of History

The details are finally coming together regarding the Trump Administration’s hoax bombing of a Japanese ship in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday. The event took place while the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was in Iran for meetings to defuse tensions and possibly reopen trade between the two countries. He was literally sitting in a meeting with the Iranian Supreme Leader when the Japanese boat was attacked. The Trump Administration’s explanation for why the Iranians would do this is basically “well, they’re just fucking insane or whatever, I don’t know – look at them, they’re weird, they wear weird clothing, who knows what’s going on with these ...
Iran Decided To Put Maximum Pressure On Trump - Here Is How It Will Do It
Post Date: 2019-06-15 09:44:52 by Ada

Thirteen month ago the United States launched a total economic war against Iran. It demands its capitulation. Now Iran decided to respond in kind. It will wage a maximum pressure campaign on U.S. economic interests until the Trump administration concedes its defeat. Shipping in the Middle East will soon become very hazardous. Oil prices will go through the roof. Trump will be trapped between two choices neither of which he will like. In early May 2018 U.S. President Trump broke the nuclear deal with Iran and sanctioned all trade with that country. Iran reacted cautiously. It hoped that the other signatories of the nuclear deal would stick to their promises and continue to trade with it. ...
Demolition Derby in The Gulf

Who is attacking oil tankers in the Gulf between Oman and Iran? So far, the answer is still a mystery. The US, of course, accuses Iran. Iran says it’s the US or its local allies Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Magnetic mines are blamed for the damage, though there have been claims of torpedo use. Last month, four moored tankers were slightly damaged, though none seriously. This time the attacks were more damaging but apparently not lethal. A few cynics have even suggested Israel may be behind the tanker attack in order to provoke war between Iran and the United States – a key Israeli goal. Or maybe it’s the Saudis whose goal is similar. The Gulf is an ideal ...
America Is Stuck With a $400 Billion Stealth Fighter That Can’t Fight

The planes have had several previously unreported ‘category 1’ flaws—military parlance for issues that can prevent a pilot from accomplishing their mission. Here’s something the public didn’t know until today: If one of the U.S. military’s new F-35 stealth fighters has to climb at a steep angle in order to dodge an enemy attack, design flaws mean the plane might suddenly tumble out of control and crash. Also, some versions of the F-35 can’t accelerate to supersonic speed without melting their own tails or shedding the expensive coating that helps to give the planes their radar-evading qualities. The Pentagon’s $400-billion F-35 Joint Strike ...

Edit: In case it isn't clear in the video, this is meant to be a story of Artsakh, from the view of Artsakh. It isn't unemotional geopolitics. The Armenians are in no ways saints, and the Azeri in no way demons. The Azeri refugees forced from their homes in the external lands that Artsakhians took in the war (even against their own internal judgement) for military purposes have every right to be upset and want it back. As I say in every video, please research this all on your own. There is a very deep, nuanced, interesting story to be told from all sides. This one just happens to be from Artsakh. If you would like to visit Artsakh, I'd highly recommend staying with Saro ...

General Claims US Has Video of Iran Messing With Oil Tanker

Some former military general named Anthony Tata was on Fox Business claiming that the United States has video of Iran doing something with explosives on these oil tankers that got blown up. He pushed the idea that this so-called video proves conclusively that Iran blew up these ships and that the only way to deal with this is to invade them. That’s basically the summation of his comments. He also rambled on about how Iran is a state sponsor of terror, wants to destroy Israel etc.. Well, if they really had an authentic video, why the fuck didn’t Pompeo show it during his goofy press conference he did earlier? And how could they determine that Iran was behind everything so ...

In a move that surprised exactly zero people, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has wasted no time scrambling to blame Iran for damage done to two sea vessels in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday, citing exactly zero evidence. “This assessment is based on intelligence, the weapons used, the level of expertise needed to execute the operation, recent similar Iranian attacks on shipping, and the fact that no proxy group operating in the area has the resources and proficiency to act with such a high-degree of sophistication,” Pompeo told the press in a statement. “The United States will defend its forces, interests, and stand with our partners and allies to safeguard global commerce ...
